Financial Support
As we have continued to learn more about the crisis’ facing each of the communities we are involved in; we have found that there is one common theme across each one. In every scenario where there is extreme need there has been extreme poverty. When people don’t have the financial means to provide food, clean water, or adequate shelter life threatening situations arise. We want to continue to expand our network of donors to allow us to reach more people in need and save more lives.
Education
Education is the key element to success of any of the communities we are involved with. We believe that schooling is important; but that is not what we are talking about in this case. We want to be a part of educating communities on how to be self sustaining when it comes to meeting the basic needs of food, water, and shelter. The people need to understand how to practice sustainable farming techniques, secure clean water and maintain current clean water supplies, and finally building and maintaining homes and other critical structures. When communities understand how to manage themselves consistently and independently financial means go further and overall needs are reduced. This type of education allows communities to thrive.
Advocate
Often times communities and people in need don’t have the ability to speak on their own behalf. We want to be a voice for the most vulnerable of people. Putting their stories out for all to see and not shying away from the hard facts before us. We feel that it is critical for us to be a voice for the voiceless. We need to ensure that all people have the opportunity to thrive in their own communities.
